Overnight Oddities Stray Dogs and Missing Evidence Stir Corry
Corry residents woke to odd events over the past 24 hours. A larceny case’s evidence vanished from the police station while three stray dogs roamed a roof on East Pleasant Street. Route 8 traffic appeared to use motorboats near Wattsburg as a bizarre scene. Police linked a burglary to Rev. Kenneth Enright’s air plane missing tools and devices, with Edward English arrested after loot vanished from the station box. The City Council faced a discrimination question on tax relief appeals and denied Kornikoski’s request to drop $164 in interest and liens on a partially burned property at Duane and Worth streets. The case remains open as authorities pursue the evidence and continue investigations.
